Het is een van de grootste ergernissen voor kaarsenmakers (en zonde van al die mooie was). De boosdoener is bijna altijd een verkeerde maat lont. Het kiezen van de juiste dikte en lengte is een nauwkeurig klusje waarbij de diameter van je pot de belangrijkste aanwijzing geeft.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Meet de binnendiameter van je houder<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Het opmeten van de binnendiameter van de pot of de mal is waar het allemaal begint. Pak een liniaal en meet het breedste punt aan de binnenkant van de container. Dit getal bepaalt de dikte die je nodig hebt om de was gelijkmatig te laten smelten. Gebruik je een pot met een diameter tot ongeveer 7,5 cm? Dan kom je meestal uit met \u00e9\u00e9n enkele lont. Zodra je breder gaat dan 8 of 9 centimeter, wordt het voor een enkele vlam lastig om alle was tot aan de randen te verwarmen. In dat geval kun je beter kiezen voor twee of meer lonten om <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youwish.nl\/kaarsen-maken\/juiste-lont-kiezen\/\">de juiste lont te kiezen<\/a> en tunneling te voorkomen.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">De juiste dikte kiezen per type was<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Niet elke lont reageert hetzelfde op elke soort was. Sojawas is bijvoorbeeld stroperiger dan paraffine en heeft daarom een krachtigere lont nodig om de vloeibare was omhoog te transporteren. De TCR-serie is een favoriet voor natuurlijke wassen zoals soja en koolzaad. Deze plat gevlochten katoenen lonten hebben een papieren kern die zorgt voor extra stijfheid en een constante vlam. Voor een kaars van 45 mm breed heb je bijvoorbeeld een TCR 21\/12 nodig, terwijl je voor een flinke pot van 110 mm eerder naar een TCR 36\/22 kijkt. Werk je met paraffine of mengsels? Dan zijn de Stabilo-lonten vaak de beste keuze. Deze krullen lichtjes om terwijl ze branden, wat helpt om roetvorming te minimaliseren.<\/p>\n<div class=\"woocommerce columns-3 \"><ul class=\"products columns-3\">\n<li class=\"product type-product post-348845 status-publish first instock product_cat-candle-making product_cat-candles-wick product_cat-pre-cut-wick has-post-thumbnail taxable shipping-taxable purchasable product-type-variable has-default-attributes\">\n\t<div class=\"commercekit-wishlist mini\" data-product-id=\"348673\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"commercekit-save-wishlist\" data-product-id=\"348673\" data-type=\"list\" title=\"Wishlist\" aria-label=\"Wishlist\"><em class=\"cg-wishlist\"><\/em><span><\/span><\/a><\/div><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youwish.nl\/en\/buy\/candles-wick\/pre-cut-wick\/stabilo-fuses\/\" class=\"woocommerce-LoopProduct-link woocommerce-loop-product__link\"><div class=\"woocommerce-image__wrapper\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youwish.nl\/en\/buy\/candles-wick\/pre-cut-wick\/stabilo-fuses\/\" title=\"Stabilo Candle Wicks\" class=\"woocommerce-LoopProduct-link woocommerce-loop-product__link\"><div class=\"shoptimizer-plp-carousel-container\"><div class=\"shoptimizer-plp-image-wrapper\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youwish.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Candle-Wicks-300x360.jpg\" class=\"attachment-woocommerce_thumbnail size-woocommerce_thumbnail\" alt=\"Stabilo Candle Wicks\" sizes=\"(max-width: 360px) 147px, \" \/>\t\t\t\n\t<\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><div class=\"woocommerce-card__header\">\t\t\t\t<div class=\"woocommerce-loop-product__title\"><a tabindex=\"0\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youwish.nl\/en\/buy\/candles-wick\/pre-cut-wick\/stabilo-fuses\/\" aria-label=\"Stabilo Candle Wicks\" class=\"woocommerce-LoopProduct-link woocommerce-loop-product__link\">Stabilo Candle Wicks<\/a><\/div><div class=\"my-price\"><span class=\"wts-price-container\"><span class=\"wts-price-wrapper\"><span class=\"wts-price-incl wts-active\"><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-amount amount\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><bdi><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-currencySymbol\" translate=\"no\">&euro;<\/span>1.95<\/bdi><\/span><\/span><span class=\"wts-price-excl wts-inactive\"><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-amount amount\"><bdi><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-currencySymbol\" translate=\"no\">&euro;<\/span>1.61<\/bdi><\/span><\/span><\/span> <span aria-hidden=\"true\">&ndash;<\/span> <span class=\"wts-price-wrapper\"><span class=\"wts-price-incl wts-active\"><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-amount amount\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><bdi><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-currencySymbol\" translate=\"no\">&euro;<\/span>68.95<\/bdi><\/span><\/span><span class=\"wts-price-excl wts-inactive\"><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-amount amount\"><bdi><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-currencySymbol\" translate=\"no\">&euro;<\/span>56.98<\/bdi><\/span><\/span><\/span><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Price range: &euro;1.95&euro;1.61 through &euro;68.95&euro;56.98<\/span> <small class=\"woocommerce-price-suffix\">incl.

Dat is ruim voldoende voor de meeste potten. Als je echter hele hoge kaarsen maakt of juist kleine votives, kan een lont op rol een uitkomst zijn. Je knipt dan precies af wat je nodig hebt, wat minder verspilling oplevert. Het is wel belangrijk dat je de lont goed strak houdt tijdens het uitharden van de was. Een losse lont kan gaan buigen, en een <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youwish.nl\/kaarsen-maken\/hoe-voorkom-je-een-off-center-kaarslont\/\">off-center lont voorkomen<\/a> is cruciaal voor een rechte verbranding.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Houten lonten voor een knisperend effect<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Houten lonten zijn populair vanwege het gezellige geluid en de unieke uitstraling. Ze werken anders dan katoen omdat ze een bredere hitteverdeling hebben. Je kunt ze krijgen in verschillende breedtes, zoals 13 mm of 19 mm. Als de vlam te klein blijft bij een brede container, kun je twee houten lonten tegen elkaar aan in \u00e9\u00e9n voetje plaatsen om de hitte te vergroten. Zorg er bij houten lonten altijd voor dat je ze kort trimt tot ongeveer 5 mm boven het oppervlak van de was. Te lange houten lonten vatten lastig vlam of doven snel uit omdat de was de vlam niet snel genoeg bereikt.<\/p>\n<div class=\"woocommerce columns-3 \"><ul class=\"products columns-3\">\n<li class=\"product type-product post-151118 status-publish first instock product_cat-candle-making product_cat-candles-wick has-post-thumbnail taxable shipping-taxable purchasable product-type-variable has-default-attributes\">\n\t<div class=\"commercekit-wishlist mini\" data-product-id=\"149923\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"commercekit-save-wishlist\" data-product-id=\"149923\" data-type=\"list\" title=\"Wishlist\" aria-label=\"Wishlist\"><em class=\"cg-wishlist\"><\/em><span><\/span><\/a><\/div><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youwish.nl\/en\/buy\/candle-making\/wooden-candle-wick\/\" class=\"woocommerce-LoopProduct-link woocommerce-loop-product__link\"><div class=\"woocommerce-image__wrapper\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youwish.nl\/en\/buy\/candle-making\/wooden-candle-wick\/\" title=\"Wooden Candle Wick\" class=\"woocommerce-LoopProduct-link woocommerce-loop-product__link\"><div class=\"shoptimizer-plp-carousel-container\"><div class=\"shoptimizer-plp-image-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youwish.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/wooden-wick-300x360.jpg\" class=\"attachment-woocommerce_thumbnail size-woocommerce_thumbnail\" alt=\"Wooden Candle Wick\" sizes=\"(max-width: 360px) 147px, \" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youwish.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/woodenwicksbysablecandleco-300x360.jpg\" class=\"gallery-image\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 360px) 147px, \" \/>\t\t\t\n\t<\/div><\/div><\/a><div class=\"shoptimizer-plp-carousel--pagination\">\n      \t\t\t<span class=\"shoptimizer-plp-carousel--dot active\"><\/span>\n      \t\t\t<span class=\"shoptimizer-plp-carousel--dot\"><\/span>\n    \t\t<\/div><\/div><div class=\"woocommerce-card__header\">\t\t\t\t<div class=\"woocommerce-loop-product__title\"><a tabindex=\"0\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youwish.nl\/en\/buy\/candle-making\/wooden-candle-wick\/\" aria-label=\"Wooden Candle Wick\" class=\"woocommerce-LoopProduct-link woocommerce-loop-product__link\">Wooden Candle Wick<\/a><\/div><div class=\"my-price\"><span class=\"wts-price-container\"><span class=\"wts-price-wrapper\"><span class=\"wts-price-incl wts-active\"><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-amount amount\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><bdi><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-currencySymbol\" translate=\"no\">&euro;<\/span>2.95<\/bdi><\/span><\/span><span class=\"wts-price-excl wts-inactive\"><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-amount amount\"><bdi><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-currencySymbol\" translate=\"no\">&euro;<\/span>2.44<\/bdi><\/span><\/span><\/span> <span aria-hidden=\"true\">&ndash;<\/span> <span class=\"wts-price-wrapper\"><span class=\"wts-price-incl wts-active\"><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-amount amount\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><bdi><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-currencySymbol\" translate=\"no\">&euro;<\/span>174.95<\/bdi><\/span><\/span><span class=\"wts-price-excl wts-inactive\"><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-amount amount\"><bdi><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-currencySymbol\" translate=\"no\">&euro;<\/span>144.59<\/bdi><\/span><\/span><\/span><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Price range: &euro;2.95&euro;2.44 through &euro;174.95&euro;144.59<\/span> <small class=\"woocommerce-price-suffix\">incl.

Alles wat je toevoegt aan de was heeft invloed op hoe de lont brandt. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youwish.nl\/kaarsen-maken\/langdurige-kaarsgeuren-zelf-kaarsen-maken\/\">Langdurige kaarsgeuren<\/a> en kleurstoffen maken de vloeibare was zwaarder. Een zwaar geparfumeerde, donkergekleurde kaars heeft vaak een maatje grotere lont nodig dan een witte, ongeparfumeerde kaars. Ook de vorm van je pot speelt mee; een pot die naar boven toe smaller wordt, houdt meer warmte vast, waardoor de was sneller smelt dan in een open schaal.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Voor specifieke projecten zoals bijenwas kaarsen heb je weer een hele andere structuur nodig. Bijenwas brandt erg heet en vraagt om een dikke, ronde lont die speciaal behandeld is om de hoge temperaturen te weerstaan zonder te vervormen.<\/p>\n<div class=\"woocommerce columns-3 \"><ul class=\"products columns-3\">\n<li class=\"product type-product post-255349 status-publish first instock product_cat-candle-making product_cat-candles-wick product_cat-candles-wick-on-roll product_tag-beeswax-wick product_tag-gel-wax-wick has-post-thumbnail taxable shipping-taxable purchasable product-type-variable has-default-attributes\">\n\t<div class=\"commercekit-wishlist mini\" data-product-id=\"254675\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"commercekit-save-wishlist\" data-product-id=\"254675\" data-type=\"list\" title=\"Wishlist\" aria-label=\"Wishlist\"><em class=\"cg-wishlist\"><\/em><span><\/span><\/a><\/div><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youwish.nl\/en\/buy\/candles-wick\/candles-wick-on-roll\/beeswax-gel-wax-wick\/\" class=\"woocommerce-LoopProduct-link woocommerce-loop-product__link\"><div class=\"woocommerce-image__wrapper\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youwish.nl\/en\/buy\/candles-wick\/candles-wick-on-roll\/beeswax-gel-wax-wick\/\" title=\"Beeswax Wick &#8211; Gel Wick\" class=\"woocommerce-LoopProduct-link woocommerce-loop-product__link\"><div class=\"shoptimizer-plp-carousel-container\"><div class=\"shoptimizer-plp-image-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youwish.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/wick_spool_beeswax-12-300x360.jpg\" class=\"attachment-woocommerce_thumbnail size-woocommerce_thumbnail\" alt=\"Bijenwas Lont - Gelwas Lont\" sizes=\"(max-width: 360px) 147px, \" \/>\t\t\t\n\t<\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><div class=\"woocommerce-card__header\">\t\t\t\t<div class=\"woocommerce-loop-product__title\"><a tabindex=\"0\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youwish.nl\/en\/buy\/candles-wick\/candles-wick-on-roll\/beeswax-gel-wax-wick\/\" aria-label=\"Beeswax Wick &#8211; Gel Wick\" class=\"woocommerce-LoopProduct-link woocommerce-loop-product__link\">Beeswax Wick &#8211; Gel Wick<\/a><\/div><div class=\"my-price\"><span class=\"wts-price-container\"><span class=\"wts-price-wrapper\"><span class=\"wts-price-incl wts-active\"><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-amount amount\"><bdi><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-currencySymbol\" translate=\"no\">&euro;<\/span>2.95<\/bdi><\/span><\/span><span class=\"wts-price-excl wts-inactive\"><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-amount amount\"><bdi><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-currencySymbol\" translate=\"no\">&euro;<\/span>2.44<\/bdi><\/span><\/span><\/span> <small class=\"woocommerce-price-suffix\">incl.

Laat je kaars na het gieten minimaal 48 uur uitharden. Bij sojawas is het zelfs beter om een week te wachten, omdat de was dan pas zijn uiteindelijke structuur heeft. Steek de kaars aan en kijk wat er gebeurt na 3 tot 4 uur branden. Is de smeltpool tot aan de rand gekomen? Dan zit je goed. Zie je een zwarte koolstofprop op je lont? Dan is de lont waarschijnlijk te groot of heb je iets te veel geurolie gebruikt.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bekijk het volledige assortiment <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youwish.nl\/zeepwinkel\/kaarsen-lont\/\">kaarsenlonten<\/a> om de perfecte match voor jouw project te vinden en begin met je eerste testbatch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn how to choose the right candle wick size based on container diameter and wax type.
